THE MACEDONIAN PROBLEMIST INFORMAL TOURNEY 2011: MATE IN THREE MOVESAWARD by Predrag ZuvićA total of 18 threemovers were published in 2011 (№s 1042 – 1047 in TMP no. 34, №s 1090 –1092 in TMP №. 35 and №s 1132 – 1140 in TMP № 36). Their quality varied from barely averageproblems with trivial content to very good and interesting works. I selected the following problems:1 st Prize: № 1137vZoran Gavrilovski2 nd Prize: № 1139Arieh Grinblat1 st Hon.

After aS/D battery formation by the key which also grants a flight square, k-defences on the d-filepin the l and determine the exact choice of activation of the white battery (in order to avoidunpin of the l– effect of Schiffmann defences), with cyclic dual avoidance in these variationsand the threat. Jumps by the S at W2 are also changed continuations in relation to the setplay. The non-thematic defence 1...kb6 transfers the white play from the variation 1...k:d6in the set play (Ruchlis). Finally, both non-thematic variations (after 1...kb6 and 1...l:b4)show exchange of second and third moves of White.2 nd Prize: № 1139, Arieh GrinblatExcellent combination of the B theme (Somov B2) and the Keller paradox after Blackdefends by capturing Ps. S-sacrifices at W2 release the squre d3 for the white queen. Inthe second pair of variations the same moves by the S are mates, thereby creating a strongand logical connection with the first two variations.4 The Macedonian Problemist № 38 (May – August 2012)+ 6+5 = 2+7 = 5+41.Sc6+ ka8 2.Tb6 ld4+3.Tb2! l:b2+ 4.Ka2![4.K:b2? t:b3+? 5.T:b3 th2+6.Kb1 th1+ =] 4...ta4+!5.b:a4 ta3+ 6.Kb1!

Zivko Janevski1 st Honourable Mention: № 1136, Zivko JanevskiFour pin mates, of which one in the threat and three after black thematic defences. In thethreat and the variation after the king’s flight there is exchange of second and third movesof White. It would have been splendid if such a reciprocity was achieved in the second pairof variations (after defences by black pawns), given the fact that the white move Sb3+ isalready transferred from W2 after 1...g:h5 to W3 in the variation after the defence 1...d4.2 nd Hon.

Thesemoves appear as mating threats after a defence by the d-pawn and a quite move by thewhite rook. The dual mate after the non-thematic defence 1...e:f5 is not a particular flaw.2 nd Commendation: № 1134, Leonid MakaronezFive different moves by the white bishop as a front battery piece (including the threat afterthe key) in variations with varied effects. Four batteries (of which one – after the defence 1...c6– is a Siers battery) are activated at the second move. Only after the defence by the black knightdoes White give a battery mate and it is a pity that it was not possible to avoid double check.I thank the editor for entrusting me to judge the tourney and submitting the necessary data.Predrag Zuvić, Zagreb, 15 August 2012The Macedonian Problemist № 38 (May – August 2012) 5
